Last Guard is the fifth novel of the Psy-Changeling Trinity Series (or the 20th novel of the Psy-Changeling Series) by Nalini Singh.
Finished on: 1.8.2021

Plot:
As part of the Mercant family, Canto is well-connected and has always been protected by them - meaning that despite the fact that he doesn't conform to Psy ideas of perfection as he's a wheelchair user, he could still rise in the family ranks and is now in the unique positions to bring together a Psy designation that has been mostly forgotten: the anchors like him. One of those anchors is Payal Rao, tough CEO of the Rao family conglomerate and Canto know that he needs her cooperation to make his plan of an anchor union work. What he didn't expect when they finally meet in person, was that he actually knows Payal from when they were children - and their old connection immediately comes back to life again.
